Any interest in RP Yimi Garcia, who was non-tendered by LA last night? 3.61 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 66/14 K/BB in 62 1/3 innings

Anybody watch Yellowstone on the Paramount network? Season 2 ended in August, but I finally got around to bingeing it the last few nights. Great show!

Berrios FA SP Odorizzi (*fingers crossed*) * Resign Pineda Dobnak/Smeltzer/Graterol/Thorpe compete in ST for the #4 & #5 spots. Two of them start while Pineda serves out his suspension. Once Pineda is reinstated and ready to go, one stays and the other goes back to Rochester. Having quality depth is a good thing!

Resign Pineda, offer Odorizzi the QO and hopefully he accepts or signs an extension, and sign one of Bumgarner/Wheeler/Keuchel/Ryu. Out of ST, two of Graterol/Smeltzer/Dobnak/Thorpe round out the rotation, with Pineda replacing whichever one is struggling when he is in game-shape.

With Kiriloff (or perhaps Rooker) waiting in the wings for 2021, I think 1 more year of Cron makes sense unless there is another similar priced upgrade on the market for a 1 year deal. But I think we’ll likely see the same lineup we saw this year. I think it is telling that Royce Lewis played more than ½ his AFL games at 3B. And with Cruz turning 40 next season and it being the final year of his contract, 2020 could be his last year. In 2021: 1B – Kiriloff replaces Cron 3B – Lewis replaces Sano DH – Sano replaces Cruz

From Tommy Birch (?): Hearing rumblings of Sam Dyson of the Giants headed to the Twins. Possibly three minor leaguers part of the deal.

Marlins deal (former Twins minor leaguer) Nick Anderson to Tampa. He would have looked nice in our bullpen...

Per Rosenthal, Braves are close to acquiring Shane Greene from the Tigers...

#Brewers trading Marcos Diplan to #MNTwins for cash considerations, sources tell The Athletic.

Sounds like the DBacks sent SS prospect Jazz Chisolm...Not sure if there was more involved as well.

Dbacks acquire last night's Marlins starter Zac Gallen. Rays have made an offer for Mets SP Zack Wheeler.

I'm fine with it, just wanting to know where to keep looking.

So is this the Twins Daily 'unofficial Trade Deadline thread?' Trying to decide which thread to keep refreshing to find MLB trades and Twins rumors? Thanks!

First 2 episodes are free and you could sign up for a free 30 day trial and watch the rest. Macchio/Zabka will not win any awards, but I really enjoyed the 1st 2 episodes and have heard it only gets better.

Good Lord, my post a week ago was incredibly off... Thibs is not a good coach for this team. Wish he didn't have 3 years left on his contract.

Wolves likely finish no worse than 8-2. And all of the teams surrounding them (Utah, SA, OKC, and N.O.) either play each other multiple times or have much more difficult schedules. I think Portland has #3 locked up, so Wolves SHOULD finish #4, #5, or #6 if they take care of business.

It was May 1990 and the Red Sox were in town for a weekend series against the Twins. My Dad was a waiter at a downtown restaurant and 3 guys strolled in Saturday night just as the restaurant was getting ready to close. They told my Dad that they really wanted to eat there and that if he could get the cooks to make them each a meal that they'd get him tickets to the Twins/Red Sox game on Sunday. He asked if they played for the Twins and they said "No, we're on the Red Sox." My Dad told them that he had wanted to take his family to Boston soon and wondered if they might be able to get him tickets to game at Fenway. They said "Sure, no problem." He was mostly a casual baseball fan, but told one of the guys that he looked familiar. He said "Yeah, I'm Roger Clemens." My Dad told them to sit down, that if he had to make the food himself, he'd do it. The other two guys were Marty Barrett and John Marzano. About a week or so later, Marty Barrett called our house one evening to set everything up for us. Said he'd have the tickets waiting for us at Will Call. We planned a trip to trip out to Boston for early August. Before the game, my Dad knocked on some door in the stadium and told the clubhouse attendant who we were and to see if we could personally tell Marty Barrett thanks. He let us in the clubhouse and we chatted with Barrett for awhile. It was in a hallway of some sort, not the actual locker room. A few players walked by including Clemens. I said "Hi Roger! Good luck today!" He ignored me.....Barrett said "Don't feel bad, kid....He's pitching today. That's part of his pregame ritual to not talk to ANYONE. He does it to us too!" They game was great. Barrett had provided us with tickets right behing the plate. Clemens pitched a great game and it was on his 28th birthday. Afterwards we went to the players parking lot and got a bunch of autographs including Clemens, Cecil Fielder, Jack Morris....Was a pretty amazing trip for a 13 year old baseball fanatic!
